and i have an anecdote to prove it. back in the day, when i was a rush counselor, at our first training session, we had a very special visitor, the national panhellenic president, a chi omega initiated at the university of mississippi. she gave us a great talk and included in it something she shared with her daughter as she got ready to go thru formal recruitment, and she urged us to share it with any pnm from our group who was feeling a little disillusioned. she said," i told my daughter that i would love it if she pledged chi omega, because i hold it so dear. but it might not the be the right fit for her and she might choose another group. or the chi omegas may think that she would be happier in another chapter. but no matter which group she joins, she should give that chapter her all, and try to make it the very best chapter on her campus. and be happy with her choice." sage advice then and sage advice now. find a way to be happy with your choice and work to make it everything you know it can be. you will have one more year as a collegian after this and then many. many years as an alumna. and its a whole nother world out there as an alumna. i feel closer to some of my alumna sisters(who hail from all over) than i do with some of my chapter sisters.
i wish you the same!
